Bitcoin's price has shot up through the $9,000 mark, reaching its current price of $9,265. This positions its market cap above $170 billion.
Bitcoin's price has been steadily building over the past two months. After seeing recent lows on March 13, at $4,500, its price has now rebounded up 105%.
Today's price rise comes just six days ahead of the Bitcoin halving.
On May 12 (or thereabouts), the new supply of Bitcoin will be cut in half, reducing its rate of inflation. This event happens every four years. The last halving was in 2016. While coin holders are gently optimistic that the supply shock might put upwards pressure on the price of Bitcoin, miners will be hit by the sudden reduction in revenue.
6 days left until next #BitcoinHalving
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░ 99%— Bitcoin Halving Countdown (@Bitcoin_Halving) May 6, 2020
Coming in to the halving, Bitcoin's dominance remains high, at 66.5%. This is Bitcoin's percentage of the entire cryptocurrency market cap. It has seen a slight uptick from 63.7% at the end of last month but is still down from recent highs of 88%.
Other coins are in the green too, with Ethereum up two percent today to reach $210 and XRP up two percent to its current value of $0.22. All coins in the top ten are showing positive gains today.
DigiByte (DGB) was propelled into the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap on May 5, after recording 930% growth against the dollar in under two months. This sudden growth spurt by DigiByte is all the more surprising considering the coin is not, and has never been, listed on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world: Binance. Vice-chairman of the DigiByte Foundation, Rudy Bouwman, shed some light on the coin’s strong performance of late, and explained why not all roads necessarily lead t...
Notably, Digibyte is up 14% as it continues its strong bullish performance. The coin is up 930% in the last two months.
In contrast, some low cap coins are in the red. Eighty-ninth-ranked Streamr is down six percent while 42-ranked Hyperion is down 17%.

Coinbase has now overtaken two of the world's largest securities exchanges in terms of transaction revenue, according to a crypto analyst from the private bank Coutts. The crypto exchange generated $5.75 billion in transaction revenue over the past 12 months, compared to just $4.54 billion for the Nasdaq, where many of the world’s most valuable companies, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft, are traded. Coinbase also surpassed the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, the HKEX, which generated $2.67 b...
After several extended reviews since June this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the first spot exchange-traded funds combining Bitcoin and Ethereum. The agency has authorized Nasdaq to list the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF and the Cboe BZX Exchange to list the Franklin Crypto Index ETF, according to a filing released Thursday. "The proportion of bitcoin and ether to be held by each Trust will be based on free-float market capitalizations," the filing...
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 12.4% in the past 24 hours as a broader market decline continues, triggered by the Federal Reserve's latest economic outlook. The meme coin has dropped to $0.31, while trading volume surged 67% to $10.25 billion as holders repositioned their bags. It's now down 35% from its 2024 high of $0.47. Despite the pullback, Dogecoin's market capitalization remains at $46.6 billion, maintaining its position as the seventh-largest crypto. Powell's hawkish comments about higher-than-exp...
